Wilkes fretless bass string spacing
adriansmith247 replied to adriansmith247's topic in Bass Guitars
Thanks for the feedback. I have added some photos showing the original bridge (I added a jack plug for a music project) I did make an attempt ages ago to refinish the bass myself so it looks pretty good but I know this won't be as good as a pro finish -
I use a Shadow and an Underwood. The shadow is a bit better IMHO so I keep the Underwood as a spare There is a big difference between using a single pickup and a double like the Underwood. Some people say they use the Underwood with only one of the elements attached. I tried this and the sound changed dramatically. I couldn't get used to it, more woody, body, less sustain, so I have always been put off trying a BassMax. The Full Circle seems too much hassle as I don't have, need, or want a bridge adjuster fitted It seems that the proximity of the pu to the strings and bridge has a big influence on sound, Realist -; FullCircle -; Bassmax. But then using two elements makes another tonal change. I have read that some use two singles and blend them with a preamp. Recently I changed my Shadow twin element pu around, turned it the right way up, and the sound improved giving a bit less string and a bit more body to the sound. have you tried flipping your Bass max? Not sure if any of this helps but it is worth considering trying a twin element pu if you can borrow one for a while Adrian

Hi I have a Wilkes frettless bass. The neck is beautiful, with an ebony fingerboard and has those metal plates at the bottom. there is a pickup behind these plates and a soap bar type pickup on the body. The bridge is almost certainly not the original which left the low E string not really sitting over the pickup pole. I replaced the pickup years ago which helped. The bridge is one of those with small wheels to adjust the spacing. Are theses basses meant to have a narrow string spacing? Does anyone know whether original bridges can be purchased? Also, is it possible to have the body refinished as it has been a casualty of someone who liked stripping and painting things purple! (previous owner of course) I am thinking about selling it as I don't use it much anymore so want find out a bit more about what I have got and whether it is worth me fixing it up.

It is a great little amp, light weight, in good condition and has that SWR sound. I think it is pretty rare. It is basically the amp section of the famous Baby Blue combo. Comes in it's own flight case with the original typed manual here are some reviews / info [url="http://www.talkbass.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/43/title/swr-electric-blue/cat/25"]http://www.talkbass....ric-blue/cat/25[/url] [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/123372"]http://www.harmonyce...products/123372[/url]
